As issued by the authors
Postnatal monitoring for early recognition of metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) is best done by first-tier lab screening of serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase to identify infants at risk
If these labs are abnormal, further studies incl. PTH and/or tubular resorption of phosphate (PO4) can help differentiate Ca vs PO4 deficiency as primary etiology to guide treatment with mineral supplements
